“The FarSight Group effectively expanded the thinking of MSS Technologies’ Management Team by opening the door of creativity into our strategic planning process.

The unique tools and methods employed by FarSight will be leveraged to solve a number of business planning and operations challenges.”

“We are a pretty creative bunch and pride ourselves on being open minded and always ready to try new ideas. I was extremely surprised and delighted, after our work with the FarSight Group, to discover we were only tapping a small percentage of our potential for creativity. Our work with them taught us we have much more room than we realized to push new ideas from the brainstorming stage to ultimately our bottom line. Our readers and advertisers are going to see some new exciting things from us thanks to our work with FarSight.”

“Leaders at Banner Heart Hospital recently used the FarSight Group’s process to define our hospital's short and long-term strategic roadmap. My tenure as a healthcare administrator has exposed me to a variety of strategic planning sessions.

Our team experienced a very lively, spirited discussion that led to enormously focused, deliberate and hard-hitting goals designed to catapult our organization to the next level.”
--- Laura Robertson, CEO, Banner Heart Hospital

“You know how highly we value FarSight techniques. The uses we have found have literally saved our company millions of dollars. That sounds lie a lot of baloney, except the results are there. More importantly than the monetary savings is that you have taught our people to think, to be creative, and to be innovative. As you know, we pride ourselves on running the most forward thinking, the most responsive utility in the country -- two steps ahead of the rest of the industry. Learning again to think is vital to our leadership.”
---Frank W. Griffith, President, Iowa Public Service Company and President Edison Electric Institute
